51: I was scared

“Come here.”Leila looked away, fisting her hands at her sides. “No.”“Sweetheart.”Leila’s heart fluttered. She was not supposed to react this way to such a compliment.“No,” she replied.“My heavenly flower.”That one almost worked. “No.”A groan came from the dining table. She turned to see him gripping his chest, pain etched all over his face. Was he okay?Leila rushed toward him as he stepped forward to rest on a couch. Her arm curled around his waist to steady him.“Are you okay?” she whispered. They wouldn’t have let him go if he wasn’t, right? Why was she even arguing with a sick man? He had been in the hospital for three days.

52: No work today

Kelvin woke up at 5:30 am. His body was programmed to be up at that time, no matter how tired he was or how late he slept. Leila was asleep but tensed. He stroked her cheek, smiling when she sighed and leaned into him for more. He did that for a few more minutes until she relaxed, and then he got off the bed.The fabric peeking out from under her pillow caught his eye. He tugged on it, his forehead wrinkling when the hem of a familiar shirt jutted out. Why was his shirt there? Did she keep it there? Most likely because he hadn’t.He brushed a few strands of her hair behind her ear and kissed her cheek. She made a soft sound, as if approving it, and he repeated it. The charm she gifted him was cold against his skin, and he traced the outline with his finger.When would be the right time to tell her? He was more than happy with his bracelet, and he was counting the months until he had

53: Mother

Time difference was usually the excuse Kelvin used for not keeping in touch with his mother, but it wouldn’t work today. If she hadn’t waited until later in the day to call him, she must have had something urgent to say.“You said you were going to call me,” his mother said.“Yes. But I forgot.” He had taken one look at Leila and forgotten everything else, including checking the mail from Amara. “I’m sorry.”Leila hugged him, her body molded against his. His fingers worked blindly across her scalp.“It’s probably the stress of managing this new company that’s affecting your memory.” Her tone was flat, as expected. But he chuckled. She would always find a way to bring Tech Valley into all their conversations. “It must have also caused you to collapse. Give it up already, son.&rdquo

54: For now (I)

Life resumed to normal faster than Kelvin was ready to accept. Sex was still off the table, but kissing had become a regular. He’d wondered too many times what would be the changing factor. Though he wanted to go at Leila’s pace, he was tired of using his hand to relieve himself. They hadn’t even had another heated makeout session. That one time seemed enough for her.Work was the only thing that always took his mind off her completely, but he couldn’t fully concentrate. Not without solving the Stars Glow crisis. The termination clause hadn’t provided any loopholes for him to exploit.A termination with Charles Black extended to the rest of the investors. Did Charles add that clause there intentionally? At that time, he hadn’t thought too much of it. The only option now was to get their individual signatures on new contracts, find an alternative, or fund the whole thing himself. Funding it wouldn’t be such a big deal if he hadn

For now (II)

“If word gets out that we lost the investors of this project, it might be difficult for us to get new partners in the future,” Amara began. He pinched the bridge of his nose, this topic heightening his anger. While she was right, this wasn’t the answer to what he had asked her. It only showed how much he wouldn’t like what she truly had to say. “It will be a dent to our reputation, sir.”“What do you support, Amara?”“Putting it on a temporary hold to focus on our other timely projects,” she continued. “If we want to launch it this year, we’d need other investors to handle it. It can’t be us now, sir.”Kelvin gulped, hating the words that came out of her mouth because they were true. For Stars Glow to succeed, they had to spend a lot from the start. That was why he wanted investors to handle it. No money would come from them, but the resources and technical know-how would be up

56: Go for it

Days blended into each other. Every moment spent with Kelvin made Leila thirst for more. He was what she hadn’t realized she needed in her life. She checked her wristwatch for the umpteenth time, excited at the thought of having lunch with him again today. They had built a stable routine over the last few weeks, one that felt natural, like a real couple. He still dropped her off somewhere close to work, picked her up for lunch, and sent a cab to drive her to the house.He had hinted at getting her a car a few times. Each time, she acted like he never mentioned it. She hadn’t owned a car for half a decade, and she didn’t necessarily miss it. There were cabs and buses for her routes, so she was fine.Her bag vibrated at her feet, and she tore her gaze from the monitor screen that had gone black. Since Stars Glow was put on hold, she’d been on the lookout for potential investors. Kelvin had go

57: Marry him again (I)

One reason Leila loathed Kelvin’s business trips was because of how unpredictable they could be. They could last anything from two days to two weeks. Five days had passed, but he wasn’t home yet. The video calls, texts, and regular calls weren’t enough. She hadn’t felt as lonely as she did without him. So when she got off work, she flagged down a taxi and gave the driver directions to her best friend’s house.Her stomach cramped, and she rubbed a hand over it. According to her calendar, her period wasn’t due for another one week. Maybe she was hungry, but she hadn’t skipped lunch today. Kelvin must be in touch with the staff at Pacific because if she was a little too late to lunch, he would contact her to know why she chose to starve.On arriving at Freya’s place, she rang the doorbell. There was no response the first time, but on a second try, the door opened. Freya stepped out in an oversized t-shir

58: Marry him again (II)

“No. Not really.”“Jesus, Leila. Has he done anything for you?” Freya asked. She nodded, and her friend shook her head. “Ah, I see. He’s suffering in silence.”“I don’t want him to suffer,” Leila blurted out.“Yeah. Three months is a long time.”If they were sticking to the actual time, it was way over three months.“But the thing is—” Leila looked around like they had another audience. Her voice lowered as she continued. “I don’t really know how to do those stuff, and I don’t want to embarrass myself. Charles and I did things differently.”Freya sneered. “Don’t you ever mention that cunt’s name around me, comprehend?” Giving her no chance to reply, she asked, “So, what

59: Where were you?

“Leilani. It’s me.”Kelvin? No, the voice didn’t sound like her husband. But it broke through her subconscious. Her screams died down, and Leila’s eyes snapped open.It was Charles. In flesh and blood.Anger, confusion, hate, and a flood of other negative emotions coursed through her veins. She glanced at the unconscious man in the corner and back at Charles. This was a familiar route to her, so this was too much of a coincidence.“You were following me, weren’t you?” she accused. She moved before she could think too deeply about her actions and shoved him. He staggered but straightened up. “What is wrong with you? I told you. I’m done. We are done.”“Where I come from, the word is: Thank you,” he said. He s

60: Just one month

Kelvin was failing. There was no other way for him to explain his inability to protect his wife. He got off the bed, his thoughts too cluttered. He needed a smoke, a way to clear his head. But when he reached the bathroom door, he traced his steps back and stopped by the bed. Leila looked peaceful, with a faint red mark on her cheek, like someone had repeatedly hit her. If she really did that to herself, it made no sense.Why? What did she mean by dirty?Where was she yesterday? Kelvin had been too excited to return home, and even sent her a picture of himself at the dining table with a meal set for two. Olef had done a good job of preparing a special dinner, but it was packed up in the fridge because he couldn’t bring himself to eat when his wife was distressed. He should have known something was wrong when she didn’t reply to his message or answer his calls. For now, he contacted the chef to switch u
